Donald Tusk says he will appeal to EU leaders to be open to a long extension of Brexit if the UK finds it necessary
"I will appeal to the EU27 to be open to a long extension if the UK finds it necessary to rethink its Brexit strategy and build consensus around it," Mr Tusk said on Twitter.Mr Tusk said he would ask for openness to this option in his consultations with leaders in the run-up to the summit.
After the defeat, Mrs May made it clear that she intends to put a third "meaningful vote" on her Brexit deal to the Commons within days. Mr Baker said the ERG could try to prevent the law being changed to alter the scheduled exit date from the EU."There are some things that we could do to prevent the law going through in the time that is available."
The vote was later confirmed by a more emphatic 321 votes to 278, overriding a government motion from Mrs May that would have rejected no-deal on the scheduled date of 29 March but left it on the table for other times. He said he finds it "incredible" that the main parties are not talking to each other and it was "not a good show for democracy".
